My Teeth Have Relapsed, What Can Be Done?

August 5th, 2014

Hi Dr Thorne. I had Invisalign treatment 2 years ago, but I don’t think I wore the aligners for as long as I should have, I mean I would take them out quite often when I probably shouldn’t have, and I didn’t wear the retainers every night. My teeth weren’t really that bad but still enough of a problem for me to have braces to straighten them. I think my teeth have relapsed slightly, as there is a slight overlap between my top 2 teeth. What can be done about this?

Can I Transfer to Another Invisalign Dentist if I’m Not Happy With My Current One?

June 11th, 2014

Hi. If I am not pleased with my dentist for any reason, can I continue my Invisalign with a different dentist? I have really critical concerns about her and I don’t know who to talk to. She said that I should wash my mouth with bleach and water! I thought she was joking but she was not!

After 3 Weeks Of Invisalign I’m Still In Pain, Is Something Wrong With My Aligners?

May 19th, 2014

Hello there, I’m worried about my aligners. I’m on my 3rd week of using Invisalign aligners but I’m still experiencing a lot of pain around my top front teeth. I have been told by my dentist that it’s normal to experience pain at first but I’m taking painkillers and they don’t even seem to help! Do I need to be worried, is something wrong? I know that because they hurt, the treatment must be working but the pain is unbearable and I just want to keep taking them out. Thanks for taking the time to read this.

Which Treatment Is Best To Close A Gap Between My Front Teeth?

May 15th, 2014

Hi Dr Thorne. I am 25 years old, and since last year I’ve noticed a gap between my front teeth, which I’m really embarrassed about. I no longer smile on photos because it just looks horrific. Please tell me, is there a treatment that can fix the gap? I’d love to get my smile back to how it was before, as it’s making me very miserable at the moment. Thank you in advance.

Am I Cleaning My Invisalign Aligners Properly?

April 25th, 2014

Hi Dr. Thorne. When using Invisalign, my teeth discolour slightly. This happens over the two weeks that I wear the aligners, despite my cleaning them as the orthodontist recommends (with washing up liquid). Is this normal, or should I be doing something different? Thank you.

I Had Braces But My Wisdom Teeth Have Caused Them To Relapse. How Much Would It Cost To Fix The Top Set?

April 22nd, 2014

Hi Adam,

I was having a look through your website and was hoping you could make a recommendation for me. I had braces as a teenager, which left me with perfectly straight teeth. But due to my wisdom teeth coming through, this has pushed my molars forward and caused my front 4 teeth to squint. Is there a particular version of your product that could work best to straighten my teeth and also would you have an idea on cost? It would only be my upper set. Many thanks, I hope you can help me with this and I look forward to your reply.

Can I Wear My Aligners When I Go To The Sauna Or Is There A Chance They’ll Melt?

February 24th, 2014

Hello Dr Thorne, I hope you can help me, I have a query for you. I was just wondering recently if it is okay to wear my aligners in the sauna three times a week for about 20mins to half an hour? Or will they melt? I would hate for anything to happen. Also is there any other activity that could harm or prevent my treatment from taking place successfully. It worries me that something could happen and I would have to pay for treatment all over again. I would be great to hear back from you regarding this enquiry. Many thanks!
